Hotwheels batmobile

Those numbers are for the comicon flocked version only. There will be a regular painted one at mass retail eventually. Do they mean flocked like GI Joe's head?

when I looked at the supersize photo it sure looked like hair flocking to me UGHH why would anyone want a diecast car covered in "velvet"

OK, there will be three versions of the 1:18 scale:

"In recognition of the occasion, Mattel will produce multiple scales of the Hot Wheels® Batmobile, including a 1:64th scale model that will appear on store shelves in Spring 2007 in the Hot Wheels® basic car line. In Fall 2007, there will be an additional 1:64th scale model introduced as well as a 1:43rd scale replica model and a 1:18th scale, which will have three levels of detail and finish. The ultimate version, the Hot Wheels Elite™ special edition Batmobile, will have enough detail to delight even the most discriminating of Batmobile collectors."

At least one of the '66 Batmobiles on the car show circuit was flocked. It looked stupid.

I heard one reason they flocked one of the Batmobiles post-series was due to hairline fractures and cracks in the fibreglass of the car body. The "fuzz" was added to cover these cracks up.

So why would you want a fuzzy Batmobile that was made AFTER the show just to cover up flaws in the car?

I'm about as die-hard a Batman fan as they come, and I don't want that. Give me a shiny black Batmobile any day.

now that you mention it I think I read that too. I guess it was probably cheaper to fuzz it than repair the damage and repaint it.

There will only be 525 of the 1:18 scale made, cost of $300 each:

The comic con was in August and some 1:18 scales have hit ebay, going for $400+

for that much the comic batmobile will be beautiful . wont pay 400 for one. maybe some will but not me.

Who the hell wants a furry Batmobile? It`s not even accurate. What do you do clean it? - Get the vacuum out? I`ll be waiting for the regular painted issue, that`s for sure.

Paul, you are hilarious
